Ginger and jujube tea is suitable for people who are weak in qi and blood, or those who have cold stomach and vomiting, with the effect of replenishing qi and nourishing blood, warming the stomach and stopping vomiting. However, it is not a substitute for medication as its efficacy is limited by the single flavor of the medicine.
1. Ginger is pungent in flavor, slightly warm in nature, and belongs to the lung, spleen and stomach meridians. It can relieve coldness, warm the surface and stop vomiting (treating vomiting caused by stomach cold by warming the spleen and stomach). It can be used to treat symptoms such as fever without sweating, runny nose, sneezing, cold stomach and vomiting. This medicine should not be taken by those who have a deficiency of yin and fire as well as those who have an abundance of heat.
2. Jujube is sweet in taste, warm in nature, and belongs to the stomach, spleen and heart meridians. It can replenish the middle Jiao and benefit the qi (treating qi deficiency by replenishing the spleen), and tranquilize the spirit and replenish blood.
It can be used to treat symptoms such as loose stools (thin and unformed feces), fatigue, insomnia, and pale lips. However, it is not recommended for those with internal stagnation, phlegm-heat, or those with dampness (too much dampness causing fullness and discomfort in the spleen and stomach).
Ginger and Jujube Tea has limited efficacy and is not a substitute for medication in treating diseases. If you feel unwell, it is recommended that you visit a hospital immediately.
